Talk about drowning in BS…
Translation: “Too Many Words! Too Many Words! My head hurts, and you’re all stooopid!”
Geez. This is a discussion about ID, Intelligent Design, which implies an Intelligent Designer, aka God. While the discussion may begin with evolution as its starting point, it is essentially a discussion about God and Science, about origins, about the limitations of science, if there are any, about the fate of our species, etc., etc., etc. The arc of this discussion is really quite common, and I daresay logical. In fact, actual cosmologists –- practicing physicists –- think not just about the origins and fate of the universe, but about other matters such as the limitations of science, all the time. And most will at some point put a little thought into more existential philosophical inquiries about God and species, as well (however poorly), at least those who are worth their salt. Some even write books about it. Some even become science fiction writers, who are basically professional speculators. That you complain about it telegraphs your own intellectual inadequacies. I suggest you just not worry about it for now. Perhaps wait a few more decades when you’re not quite so … hormonal. I hear Grand Theft Auto IV has just come out. Why don’t you just sit yourself down with GTA-IV and a bowl of Cap’n Crunch, or maybe a few slices of cold pepperoni pizza, and leave the adults to their diversions.
(As per my specific posts, well, all I can say is that I composed them mostly between half a round of golf and preparing to head downtown with my wife for dinner and a play. Forgive my previous lack of brevity or properly vetted insight, but I’d like to point out that actual philosophers with PhDs — people who articulate complex ideas for a living – have already been chased off for being too “stooopid” by you and other members of the intellectual streaking brigade. Geez, FP, the world is a lot broader, deeper, and more interesting than the handful of high school or undergraduate biology courses you’ve taken. I think you’d be well-served to stop trying to stuff that great bit beautiful universe into such narrow little intellectual boxes. It’s a stooopid thing to do.)
